Default Noticable vibration while de-acceleration

Hello,

I am noticing a vibration, (enough to rattle any loose items) while I am de-accelerating or my foot is off the gas. It is also occurring while I am in acceleration mode but only some times. It happens at low speeds as well as high speeds and NO, it is not my tire balancing as that will be a different kind of vibration.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I was thinking that the electric motor is causing this, but what do I know.

Sprint it on into the service dept. Let us know what it was, never heard of it before, but as good as they are any car might need the warranty. Stay in touch.

At low speed when the engine is kicked in you will have this slight vibration.

Turn the LCD screen to show the energy mode and try to see/feel if the vibration occurs right at the time the engine turned on (at low speed).
